¡Hola! I am an arts writer, editor, lecturer and film curator.

I write regularly for Sight & Sound and I’m a member of the Critics’ Circle and the British Art Network. My writing has also appeared in Art Review,  Another Gaze, Alt/Kino, AnOther Man, BFI Online, Curzon Journal, Elephant, i-D, The Quietus, Notebook, Sleek, Time Out, Ultra Dogme, VICE, Wonderland, and in various film-related books, academic journals, exhibition catalogues, and trade publications. I hold a doctorate in Film Studies from King’s College London, with a particular research interest in the connection between light shows, intermediality, experimental film and psychedelic art: the subject of my upcoming monograph.

As a freelance film curator, I have programmed screenings for the British Film Institute, Open City Documentary Festival, Tyneside Cinema, Regent Street Cinema, The Horse Hospital, The Beursschouwburg (Brussels), Eye Film Museum (Amsterdam), Joe’s Garage (Amsterdam), and Mint Collective (Marrakesh). I’ve participated in a wide range of cultural events, workshops, and symposia at venues including Guest Projects, The Royal Albert Hall, Close-Up Cinema, the Garden Cinema, Onoma Gallery (Fiskars, Finland), Muse Gallery, Rich Mix, the Slovenian Cinematheque (Ljubljana), Wolverhampton Art Gallery, and the Institute of Contemporary Arts. I have taken part in multimedia environments, artist collectives, and residencies including Fiskars Artist Residency (Finland, 2024), M.A.M.A. Residency (Marrakesh, 2024), and State O Research Residency at Flat Time House (London, 2014). 
 
I’ve worked as an editor for La Furia Umana, MUBI, and Another Gaze Editions. I was previously Senior Managing Editor at MUBI, Contributing Editor of Notebook (issues 5-9), Contributing Editor of Notebook broadsheet and Editorial Manager of the Companions zines. A native Spanish speaker of British, Spanish and New Zealand heritage, I’ve done on-stage/written translation work for MUBI, Curzon, and Wotever Film Festival.
